  • Verse 1
    In response 
    to a 
    steadily diminishing 

    number of requests, 

    we'd 
    now like to 
    perform for 
    you a 

    charming 
    Edwardian 
    ballad 

    which 
    describes 
    the 
    curious 
    properties 

    of a 
    nauseatingly 
    sweet wine 

    entitled 

    Have 
    Some 
    Madeira 
    Madeira. 

    think 
    crimped my Dr. 

    Scholl's 
    foot pad. 

    La 
    -ga -da -yum, 

    la 
    -ga -da -yum, 

    la -ga -da -yum, 
    la 
    -ga -da -yum 

    Shoo 
    -bee -doo 
    -bee, ooh 
    -blah 
    -doo -bee, 


    shoo -bee -rah 
    -ha -ha -ha 
    -ha -ha 
    -ha 

    She 
    was young, 
    she 
    was 
    pure, 

    she was 
    new, 
    she 
    was nice 

    She 
    was fair, 
    she 
    was 
    sweet seven
    teen 

    He 
    was old, 
    he 
    was vile, 

    no stranger 
    to vice 

    He 
    was bad, 
    he was 
    base, 
    he was 
    mean 

    He 
    had 
    slyly 
    inveigled 
    her 
    up to 
    his flat 

    to 
    view his 
    collection 
    of 
    stamps, 

    all 
    unperforated. 

    And 
    he said 
    as he 
    hastened 

    to put 
    out the 
    cat, 
    the wine, 

    his cigar, 
    and 
    the 
    lamps, 

    Have 
    some Madeira, 
    my dear. 

    You really 
    have 
    noth
    ing to 
    fear. 

    I'm 
    not 
    try
    ing 
    to tempt you, 

    that wouldn't 
    be right. 

    One should 
    not take 
    spirits 

    at this 
    time 
    of night. 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeira, 
    my dear. 

    It's ever 
    so much 
    nicer than 
    beer. 

    Now I don't 
    care for 
    sherry, 

    and one cannot 
    drink 
    stout. 

    And port 
    is a wine 
    could well 
    do without. 

    It's 
    really a 
    case 
    of 
    Shakas 
    on gout. 

    Ha 
    -ha. 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeir
    a, 
    Madeira. 

    La -ga -dee 
    -yum, la 
    -ga -dee -yum, 


    la -ga -dee 
    -yum, la 

    -ga -dee -yum. 

    Shoo -bee -doo 
    -bee, oo 
    -bla 
    -doo -bee, 


    shoo -bee -ra 
    -ha -ha 

    -ha -ha -ha 
    -ha. 

    Unaware 
    of the 
    wiles 

    of the snake 
    in the grass 

    and 
    the fate 
    of a maiden 
    who 
    topes, 

    She 
    lowered 
    her standards 

    by 
    raising 
    her 
    glass, 
    her courage, 

    her 
    eyes, 
    an
    d his 
    hopes. 

    She 
    sipped it, 

    she drank 
    it, she 
    drained it, 
    she did, 

    he 
    quietly 
    refilled 
    it again. 
    And 
    he 
    said 
    as 
    he secretly 
    carved 

    one 
    more notch 
    on 
    the 
    butt of 
    his gold 
    -handled 
    cane, 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeira, 
    Madeira 

    have a small 
    cask 
    of it 
    here 

    And 
    once it's 
    been 
    opened, 

    you 
    know it 
    won't keep 

    Do 
    fin
    ish 
    it up, 
    it 
    will help 
    you to 
    sleep 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeira, 
    Madeira 

    It's really 
    an 
    excellent 
    year 

    Now 
    if 
    it were gin, 

    you'd 
    be wrong 
    to say 

    Yes, 
    the evil 
    jinn does 

    would be 
    hard to 
    assess. 

    And besides, 

    it's in
    clined 
    to affect 
    me prowess. 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeir
    a, 
    my dear. 

    Lockity -yum, 
    lockity 
    -yum, 

    lockity -yum, 

    lockity 
    -yum, 
    shooby -dooby, 
    oobla 
    -dooby, 

    shooby -ra 
    -ha -ha -ha 
    -ha -ha -ha. 

    Then 
    they 
    are flashed 
    through her 

    mind 

    what her mother 
    had said, 

    with 
    her anti 
    -penultimate 
    breath. 

    Oh, 
    my child, 
    should 
    you gaze 
    on the wine 
    when it 
    is red, 


    be prepared 
    for 
    a faint voice 
    then, 
    then. 

    She 
    let go 
    her glass 
    with a 
    shy 
    little cry. 
    Ah! 
    Crash 
    tinkle, 

    it fell 
    to the floor. 

    When 
    he said, 
    what 
    in 
    heaven, 

    she made 
    no reply. 

    up 
    her mind 
    and 
    a dash to 
    the 
    door. 

    Have 
    some Madeira, 
    Madeira! 

    rang 
    out 
    down the 
    hall loud 
    an
    d clear 

    in 
    a tremulous 
    voice 

    that 
    was filled 
    with despair 

    as 
    she fought 
    to take 
    breath 

    in 
    the cool 
    midnight 
    air. 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeira, 
    Madeira! 

    The 
    words 
    seemed 
    to 
    ring 
    in her 
    ear. 

    Until 
    the 
    next 
    morning 

    she 
    woke 
    up in 
    bed 

    With 
    smile 
    on 
    her 
    lips 

    and 
    an 
    ache 
    in 
    her 
    head 

    And 
    beard 
    in 
    her 
    ear 
    hole 

    which 
    tickled 
    and 
    said 

    Have 
    some 
    Madeir
    a, 

    Madeir
    a! 



    So 
    now 
    we're 
    going to 
    do 

    song 

    about comparative 
    religion. 

    Indeed. 
    Yeah. 
    Indeed. 

    Do we have 
    anything further 

    to add 
    to 
    that? 

    Probably 
    not. 
    Well, 
    I think we 
    know the... 

    Okay. 
    Shut up. 

    Let's 
    do 
    some gospel 
    singing, 

    I think. 
    Oh, good 
    idea. Yeah. 
    we 
    go. 

    Mm, 
    yum, yum, 
    yum. 

    One.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
